Amazon hosts NSA surveillance data under a $10B WildandStormy contract

Reporting revealed the specific details of Amazon's "WildandStormy" contract with the NSA, a $10 billion classified cloud agreement that stores and processes signals intelligence data collected on foreign targets but also incidentally captures communications of millions of Americans. The contract's existence had been publicly known since 2020 but its scope and the degree of incidental domestic collection had not been previously reported. NSA Inspector General previously flagged the arrangement for insufficient oversight frameworks.
